- My jacket, wouldn't let go of it

Wanted someone down there
to keep him company,

someone to get drowned with him

- Not drowned; stabbed

- It's Emilel

- Monsieur Ducraul

- [Lock Keeper] Quick, to the hospital.

- [Jean Pierre] Too late, he's dead

{Ducrau groaning)

- He's alive!

-'Course I am,

You think I'd die that easy?

Who's that?

- Jean Pierre.

- Jean Pierre?

I thought you were at Lille

- Got back this afternoon, Patron.

- I'l get some brandy

- Nah, not vet,

I've got half the river to heave up first

(Ducrau retching)

(police siren approaching)

- Police?

{Ducrau groaning)

- Tell 'em the corpse has gone home

Now, now, I want a river man like myself,

one of me own men.

We stick together on the canals

Come on, Jean Pierre, tell me about Lille

Did you find a girl, eh?

- Well, you know what it is like, Patron

- Papa, papa, come inside

(police sirens wailing)

{glass shattering)

(mellow music)

(horn tooting)

{sombre music)

(horn tooting)

(mellow jazzy music)

{wheels clacking)

{doorbell ringing)

- Well, go on, answer the door

What do you think you're paid for?

No, I'l sack you if you tell me

(groaning)

- Police officer to see you

- Ah, and about time, too.

Come in, what's your name”?

- Chief Inspector Maigret

- Are you any good?

Sit down.

Let's have a bottle of wine, eh?

Mathilde, fetch something
decent, will you?

Now...

{machinery banging)

Stop that!

- Yours?

- Yup, I own two of them,

three short-bodies, 24 tugs,

18 diesel barges, and
a couple of dredgers.

What else do you wanna know?

- Do you know who attacked you last night?

- Ha, of course not

You're the detective, you find out

- What happened?

You'll have to find that out too,

I didn't remember.

- [Maigret] Nothing at all?

- Except that I was
walking on the quayside

The next thing I knew I
was lying on the ground

with that fool of a lock
keeper fussing around me

- [Maigret] Any idea who might've done it?

- What, any enemies, you mean”?

Oh, yes, hundreds of 'em.

{door slams)

Who's that?

- Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know-

- Come on in, don't
hang about in the hall

This is Inspector Maigret

He's come to find out my murderer.

My wife

- How do you do, madame?

- Oh, put it down on the floor anywhere

She does her own shopping
still; she doesn't have to.

She just can't get out of it

The inspector wants to
know if I have any enemies?

Well?

- I don't know, Emile

- Of course you do

Let's start with the family

Last night my daughter and
her husband came to dinner.

He's a nasty piece of work, for a start

Go on, tell him what they said

- All sorts of things.

- Go on, tell him

Berthe started it, remember?

She said-
- Emile!

- Ch no, she didn't say Emile

She said she was going to have a baby,

and that her husband would
have to resign his commission

He's in the army, God help France,

because they couldn't afford
a nanny on captain's pay

And what else did he say?

- I have forgotten

- Ch no you haven't. come on, tell him

- He said, you spent
plenty of money elsewhere.

- [Ducrau] No, he didn't say elsewhere

-On-
- Well?

- On women.

- [Ducrau] What else”

- On the one upstairs. (sobbing)

- Ah, that's better.

Now run along

Oh, and tell Mathilde to hurry,

we'll have a bottle of
champagne, will you?

She's gonna cry in a
minute and it's horrible.

- I don't drink champagne

- Oh, you'll drink this.

It's extra dry, still 1929

You know, we love a bottle of champagne

because you're a big man, too.

And I like big men

- Tell me who is the one upstairs?

- Rose, used to work at Maxime's

Girlfriend of mine.

I gave her the flat
overlooking the garden

Oh no. that's all over and done with now

She spends her time knitting

- Bo you own the house?

- Of course, I own the whole district.

Here, where's that wine?

Open the door so that
I can shout, will you?

Oh, now who is it?

Oh, it's you, Jean, come on in

This is Inspector Maigret

He's come to find out

who chucked me in the river last night.

My son, Jean.

Well, go on, shake hands with him

He's not gonna drag you
off to the nearest dungeon

- Monsieur.

- Come on in, sit down,
we'll all have a drink.

Where's that wine?

- I'm sorry, Papa, I have work to do

- Oh, books, books, books.

Always at it, eh? (chuckling)

All right, me boy, off you go to work.

- Au revoir, monsieur
- Au revoir

- Yes, he's studying to be a librarian

Wanted to be a priest, but
they wouldn't have him

He's a funny lad, quiet, shy.

Not strong, not like me, but I like him

You see, I have got a tender
side to my nature after all

- Do you want the wine iced, Emile?

- No, I want it now

Great God, anyone would think

you were treading out the
vintage with your own 10 toes

Why only two glasses, aren't
you going to have some?

- No, thank you, Emile

In the morning it gives me a headache

I must see to lunch.

- Ha, headache! (chuckling)

These women, they're all the same

At least most of them.

I married that one for her money.

She was the Patron's daughter,

I was in the stow cove

and now I keep his widow

in a flat of her own "round the corner.

She knits too.

They all knit

Here's your drink coming up

- Are all these barges yours?

- [Ducrau] Most of 'em.

- Including the one the old man fell off,

the man you grabbed?

- What, Gassin?

Oh, he's not so old

Or at least if he is, I am

We grew up together,

sailed the same barge together

Yes, that one's mine, the "Golden Fleece."

{mellow accordion music)

(horn tooting)

- [Maigret] Is that his daughter?

Is that his daughter?

- How can I tell, I can't see from here?

- [Maigret] She's beautiful

- Yes, she's beautiful

For heaven's sake, man, if
you're going to drink, drink!

{slow accordion music)

- Marius
- Jean Pierre.

- What'll you have, Bebert?

- Calvados.

Gassin. (laughing)

- Cognac

- Oh now, Gassin, haven't you had enough?

- Cognac

- He'll only cross the road
if you didn't give it to him

- Where do I stand if he
gets into trouble again?

(men mumbling greeting)

- Cognac

- Police.

- Yes.

- Watch out, Gassin, police! (laughing)

- All right. Bebert, that'll do

- Uh, are you a lock keeper?

- (laughing) Promotion!

- No, I drive one of
those traction engines

that pull the barges up to the river

- Ah; been here long?

- No, only a year or two

Hey Gassin, haven't you
something to tell the inspector?

Huh?

Hey.

- What did you say?

(Bebert laughing)

- [Jean Pierre] Leave him.

He's been drinking all day

(horn tooting)

That'll be the "Cormorant"
vaiting to come through

They'll want you, Bebert.

- Eh, no hurry

- [Man] Bebert!

- You'd think they were going somewhere.

- So, he's paid to do the job

He thinks he ought to be lock keeper.

Then we'd never get anywhere

- Cognac

- Look, Gassin, I told you,
I can't give you any more

- Take it out of this.

Well Gassin, have you
something you want to tell me?

(boat horn tooting)

I beg your pardon?

May I come down

I'm a police officer.

I'd like to ask you one or two questions

- Sit down, please

- Is that your child?

- My stepchild, monsieur

- Oh.

Monsieur Gassin's your father, isn't he?

- Yes.

- And your mother?

- She-she died, they say.

{baby crying)

- About last night,
did anyone come aboard?

Someone did?

Who was it?

- He came.

- Can you tell me his name?

- Why, him, the Patron

- Monsieur Ducrau?

Are you sure he came down here?

- I didn't open the
door, I was going to bed

He called out to me.

- What time is this?

Look, was it long before your
father fell into the water?

- I don't know.

I don't know.

- Tell me, do you know
Monsieur Ducrau well?

- Oh, yes

- Well, what's he come here for?

- What he comes for all the time.

- I'm talking about
Monsieur Emile, not his son

- Oh, Jean never came.

No.

- You know him?

- Oh, yes

- But it's his father who
comes here who tries to, uh...

Oh, I'm sorry.

Now look, don't worry

(Aline crying)

{Maigret tapping)

{sombre music)

(boat horn tooting)

The Marne, the inlaterale,

through Belgium, Holland, to Germany

Dortmund ends, Rhine, Marne, Danube

You know, you could take
a barge inte Russia

- If you had the time.

- Oh yes, it would take time

You know, it's a tranquil
life on the barges

You chug along quietly through flat fields

a raw of poplars, few
houses, a lock, the town,

and more fields.

You know, Gassin and
Ducrau must've started

in the days when they had
a horse to pull the barge

And now, the "Golden Fleece" goes up there

with an old drunk on
board, and a simple girl

with a babe in arms.

And who stabbed Ducrau?

That's not really the
problem at all, you know

There's something about this
case that hasn't started yet

And we'll have to watch it.

- Yeah.

- Go down to the lock,
Lucas, keep an eye on things

- Uh, what special things?

- Gassin, the girl, and who
is the father of that child?

- Oh, and Lucas, that
young engine driver

He smiles too much.

- I don't have to speak
Dutch to a girl from Holland

If her barge stops here for the night

she'll speak French in the morning

{men laughing bawdily)

- Some people never leave you alone

- He doesn't like the police, monsieur

- Is that what I look like?

- Well, you're not a river man

{Jean Pierre talking)

- What's he doing now?

- He's going to cross the plank

(horn tooting)

- (laughing loudly) He's made it.

(all laughing)

- Who's the father of that child?

- Who says it's hers?

- Isn't it?

- Oh, they were away for four months

at the end of last year,

They went up to Rotterdam.

When they came back, they
had the baby with them

- Well, Gassin's not as old as all that

Some lock keeper's wife, maybe

(men laughing)

(horn tooting)

- "Eagle IV" is due from Rotterdam.

Come on, Bebert

- I hope the captain's
daughter's still friendly

- He loves his work too much.

- Do barges ever carry passengers?

- Not official ones

- Only for the patron

I mean like...

- Like who?

- Well, you knows what I mean?

- We'll find out soon enough

The boy was ill at the end of last year.

He went for a month on
the "Golden Fleece."

- What boy?

- Jean Ducrau, of
course, the patron's son

- Ahh.

- And what am I supposed to do with these?

- Ye thought as you
were convalescing, Papa

- Who says I'm convalescent?

- But you suffered a serious injury Papa.

- Bah, serious injury!

Ah, Maigret!

Good, you're an early riser like me

Some coffee?

- No, thank you

- Oh no, of course, Calvados, isn't it?

Oh, Berthe tell Gassin to get
up to Bersi and start loading

He's late already

My daughter and her fool of a husband.

There you are

- Thank you

- Well, what did your man find
out at the bistro yesterday?

- My man?

- Don't fool about.

We all know that he was there.

- Then they should know what he learned

- That my son went on a cruise

on the "Golden Fleece" last year.

- Yeah.

- And that nobody knows
where the baby's from

- I do.

- Oh, we are a great
detective, aren't you”?

Well, who's is it?

- The girl's

- What makes you so sure?

- Because when I went
aboard the barge yesterday

she'd just been feeding the child

Not with a bottle.

- (laughing loudly) You are
a great detective indeed

Well now tell me.

Her father; who is he?

- That's another question

- No, come on

I want a straight answer.

You think it's me, don't you?

Oh, I know my reputation, and so do you

But you were never more wrong

Ah, dammit, I suppose I
shall have to tell you why.

Have you got any children?

- We had a girl; she died.

- As I got several

There's my son; you've met him

He's not strong

My daughter's a bitch,
and a stupid one at that.

Grapes they brought me.

Grapes!

Go on, have some

And then. oh, there's old Gassin

Old Gassin had a wife, an amazing woman.

Beautiful.

I don't know why I did it, but I did.

You see, Aline is my daughter

Now do you see?

- Some of it.

- Gassin's wife died in childbirth.

- Does he know about you?

- I don't know.

And I don't know the
father of Aline's baby

Tell me, what do you earn”?

1,500 a month?

- More or less?

- You know, I'll give you a double that

if you'll come and work for me.

Oh no, no, it's not a bribe

It's an offer.

Go on, chuck in your
resignation this afternoon

and we'll draw up a contract over dinner.

- Why?

- Oh, because I like you.

You've got some sense

You're big and you don't talk too much

And I can trust you.

That means money in my business.

- What would I do?

- Oh, go about, up and down

Keep an eye on things

Sometimes here, down at the head office

Down the corridors, up the canals

See who's pinching what and how much

Pah, come on

Say you'll do it

The rest of my staff are half-wits

And the general manager's an
expert on crossword puzzles

{object crashing)
(Mathilde screaming)

What the devil's that?

(Mathilde crying loudly)

Stop that noise, or I'll
come up there and make youl

Stop it, Mathilde,

or I'll give you something to shout about!

- No, no, monsieur, no.

- Well, what's the matter?

What is it?

- It's Monsieur Jean.

I went upstairs with his
coffee, and... (crying loudly)

- Come on, what is it?

- He hanged himself.

{dramatic musical sting)

- Look after her.

(sad accordion music)

- Ah, Bertrand.

Glad you came

- They just found this

- "I attacked my father,
and now I punish myself

"Forgive me, please, everyone.

"Mother, do not grieve."

- The sort of thing a school boy writes

when he wants to dramatise himself.

- He was hanging by the window

- I suppose that closes the case

- Oh no.

Why did you say like a school boy?

- Well, surely it sounds
false in every line.

- Yeah, false.

So why did he kill himself?

You go ahead; better go home.

- Right.

And you”?

- I think I'l go down
to the barge for a drink

{fog horn tooting)

- I thought you'd come

Do you drink Dutch gin®

{glass clattering)

{suspenseful music)

(Gassin sobbing)

{mournful music)

Hi, Jean Pierre.

- Patron.

- Ah, Marius.

- [Marius] Monsieur

- Ah, who said I ordered cognac?

- [Marius] It's on the house, monsieur

- Well, what did you make
of that little episode?

- That you had just been
telling Gassin what you told me

this morning about you and his wife

- 1 had to.

If he's going to believe evil of me,

it might as well be the true evil.

Marius, two more, please.

- [Marius] Monsieur

- My house is like an undertaker's

Women everywhere.

Women in black with their
noses red vith weeping

Good health.

I couldn't stand it.

I came out.

I'm not going back once more
until the funeral's over.

- Tomorrow?

- Yes, in a hurry

Best to get it over and done with.

Oh, why did my son do it, Maigret?

Why?

- You don't believe the note he left?

- No, of course not!

- You know that he didn't attack you?

- If I know anything

- Do you know who did?

- Hmm, the great detective again

- Good night, Patron

- Good night, Jean Pierre

Have you thought any more about my offer?

- Oh yes

- Still stands.

- Do you want me to find
your attacker first?

- (laughing loudly) Oh, you're brilliant

You know, you're very clever

I tell you what, you find
him, and I'll tell you then

whether I want him found or not.

- Still open?

- The door is.

- Calvados.

- Are you staying?

- Yes, I think I will

- I'm off.

- Home?

- No, I told you, anywhere but home

There are plenty of beds in
Paris. (laughing lustily)

- Still on duty?

- On a night like this?

No.

I've been to the cinema.

- Live far from here?

- No.

(Bebert singing wordlessly)

- Where does he live?

- On one of the empty
barges down by the quay

You're coming here often

- Why?

- My customers.

Ah, they're all right.

They don't get into trouble, but you know

- Chyes, I know

They have too many Dutch
cigars in their pockets

to feel happy about a
policemen coming all the time

You know how it is with the canal boats.

- I'm not worried about
a little contraband.

That's not my business

- What is?

- I wish to heaven I knew.

{Bebert humming)

{Bebert choking and screaming)

{water splashing)

(motor droning)

(church bell tolling)

Follow him.

- Where will you be?

- Here.

Go on to the funeral.

- She'll tell you nothing

{motor chugging)

{upbeat music)

{horns tooting)

- What's that?

(dramatic music)

{lock keeper gasping)

Stop the gates!

- Stop!

- Bebert.

{dramatic musical sting)

You got the gun”

- Yes, sir

- Good, you got the ammunition”

- All here.

- [Bertrand] Fine

- Ah, Bertrand.

Eh, Gassin?

Who's taken his boot laces?

- I did; routine

- [Maigret] Give them back to him

- There you are,

{typewriter clacking)

- Well, Pierre Gassin,
you've been arrested

on a charge of buying a
firearm without a certificate.

- And 10 rounds of ammunition.

- [Maigret] It might've
been more serious charge

- I haven't killed anyone yet.

- [Maigret] But you want to

- Could be.

- [Maigret] Ducrau?

- Perhaps.

- Thank you

Rall your own cigarettes, eh?

Is this your wife?

All right

- What are you gonna do with me nowy?

- Do you know anything
about the attack on Ducrau?

- No.

- Or his son's suicide?

- Nothing.

- Do you know why Bebert was hanged?

- No.

You don't think I could have done it?

- No.

What do you knows?

- Not much.

Are you any wiser than I am?

All ight, you can go

{coins clinking)

- We'll keep that.

- Don't do anything foolish

- What could I do?

- [Maigret] Don't forget
you've got a daughter

- Have I?

- Wish he hadn't said that.

- Lucas, you follow him

- But Bertrand, he knows me-

- He'll know anyone

He's not one of them.

- Yes, but he-

- If he gets another gun, pull him in

- Right.

- Police officer again

- His name's Inspector Maigret

Come in.

You'll have a drink?

- Thank you

- [Ducrau] Now where are you going?

- To lie down.

- Her condition, you know

- Look, I'l give you a 100,000
francs if she's pregnant

It's just all a ruse
to get money out of me

- Oh really, father

- Yes, and you go and lie down with her

and a fat lot of good It'll do you

Father. (scoffing)

Here you are.

Sit down.

Tell me, why did you arrest Gassin”

- He bought a firearm
without a certificate.

- For me?

- I think so.

- Mm, so do I

But I was ready for him

And I've got a permit for mine

Do you want to see it?

- No.

- You weren't at the funeral.

- No, I was busy

- Yes, I wish I'd been

It was a waste of time.

Boy's dead, what more can you do for him?

I never knew him very well.

- And yet, you killed him

- What?

Get out!

Tell me, why did I kill him?

How did I kill him?

Tell me.

- Not with your hands

- Well how?

- He was in love with Aline.

- I never knew.

But that doesn't make me his killer.

The blame's on the man who attacked me.

- [Maigret] And we both know his name

- Yes.

Yes. we do indeed. (chuckling)

Look, let's tell the family, eh?

Jean, Berthe, come down here at once

It's something important

Come on, hurry

I'l bring my old faggot
down or she'll never come.

Mathilde, get some aperitif
and glasses quickly, will you?

(horn tooting)

(bell dinging)

- You sent for us, inspector?

- Yes.

Your father-in-law has something
he wishes to say to you

- Oh?

Do you know what it is?

- Yes, I think so

- I hope that there will be no scandal

- Do you?

- Renee has to think of his position

- Oh yes

- In some regiments, you know,

when an officer disgraces himself,

his comrades leave him
alone with a revolver

- Indeed.

And he knows what to do with it.

- Come an, you old sheep

This concerns you, too

Come on, sit down over there.

- Your son-in-law was just saying

that he thinks we ought to
leave you alone with a pistol

- Oh, nol

- Ha!

What a family

What a crew.

Look at her, knitting already

All right you two, sit down there.

Gassin, come on in, old fellow

This concerns you, too

Come onin.

(horn tooting)

Now we'll all have a
friendly drink together

Mathilde, go and let Gassin in, will you?

- Do we really need him in here”?

A family matter, after all.

- The father of my daughter
is a member of the family

Here you are.

You others help yourselves

Come on in, Gassin

Come on. (chuckling)

Come on.

We were at school together

You knew, you look damned old

That makes me old, too.

You know, the trouble was

I thought I was stronger than I am

When I went on board the
"Golden Fleece that night

and found a man peering
through the portal at Aline

Well, I didn't say anything.

I just went for him

But he held me back.

He was young, and strong,
and he laughed at me

He said that he had got
more right to be there

than I had, because he was
the father of the child.

So I went for him again.

Oh, you would've done the same.

And he drew something out of his pocket

I felt a stab in the back.

And the next minute I was in the river.

- But who was it?

- You're a bigger fool than you look

Go on, you tell her

- Bebert.

- Yes, Bebert

That smiling devil of a longshoreman

He abused Aline's innocence,

tried to kill me, and
caused the death of my son.

That's why I killed him.

- Emile!

- Well, somebody had to

You wouldn't have,

and you couldn't have.

So there it was.

Perhaps the worst thing that
he did was to make it necessary

for me to tell you about
this other business

Yes, that was the worst because after all

you and I growing up
together, sailed together,

fought together.

What does all this and all
these women matter, eh?

Come on, have another drink

{suspenseful music)

{woman screaming)

What the devil?

{fuse hissing)

Hmm, from the "Mantire Corey", eh”

A stick of my own dynamite

I always carried some on the boat.

Used to use it for fishing

And you would have done that to me

You really would

Why?

Because of your wife?

Because of what I did?

Oh, Gassin, what's a woman between men

- She died because of you

- Why, I only did what any man might did

- As Bebert did.

- Yes, as Bebert did

As Bebert killed my son.

Not with his hands, but
by what he did to others.

Oh, but I'm not like that.

You and I, we're friends

You can't feel towards
me as I felt towards him.

- May I go now?

- Oh, I guess

- Inspector, after what he's done

I really must protest on behalf-

- Oh, quiet!

- He's no danger now

He's like the dynamite without the fuse:

inert, dead, cold, finished

Shall we go”?

- My father-in-lav/'s statement is entirely

without confirmation.

- What'll I get for Bebert?

- Depends on the jury

Maybe only two years.

- Well, I need a rest

I've shouted at everyone for far too long

It's funny, you know

I never could sleep without you beside me.

- Ch, Emile

You're a good man

- Oh, great heaven above.

(Madame Ducrau crying)

{wistful music)

- Albert's just off to
Rouen on "seagull I."

Any instructions for him?

- Quai des Orfevres

Let's go by boat.

Jean Pierre, is your barge ready?

{motor chugging)

(keys jingling)

(typewriter clicking)

(horn tooting)

He's at Solferino.

(horn tooting three times)

- That means he's taking the middle arch.

- That's right.

You know, you're learning fast

(mysterious music)
